The
students of Mumbai's renowned Veermata Jijabai Technical Institute
(VJTI) have made it to the Limca Book of Records, 2013, for erecting a
Taj Mahal, a record-breaking 5100 rubik's cube used, at the Rubik's Cube
Mumbai Open Competition.
The event was part of Technovanza, a technical fest of VJTI, one of the
largest technofests in the country and the most awaited one, having a
footfall of around 15,000 visitors every year. The students working on
this brilliant manifestation of our country's pride (read The Taj Mahal)
worked straight for about more than 14 hours to achieve this
commendable feat. And believe me it is no mean task to work in sync with
10 other people, on 5000 Rubik's cubes, in the scorching heat of our
college's Quad, under a mere tent and making way for a record. But their
efforts paid off.
It was a visual treat and a prime attraction during the three days of the festival, to see one of world's wonders come alive in a matrix of rubik's cubes. Prior to this, the kids at VJTI had proved their mettle by creating life-like forms of famous personalities like Mahatma Gandhi, Sachin Tendulkar, Albert Einstein, Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam, Steve Jobs, etc using nothing else but Rubik's cubes. But, Technovanza appearing in the Limca Book of World Records has been a milestone in this creative journey.
The art looked brilliant and dazzled anyone and everyone that set their eyes upon it. It got coverage by prominent newspapers like Times of India, Hindustan Times, DNA, Maharashtra Times, Loksatta, Midday, Asian Age, Pudhari, Samna etc and also on newschannels like TV9, IBN Lokmat, Sahara Samay. The Rubik's Cube Art portraying Steve Jobs had received accolades from across the world including acknowledgement by The Wall Street Journal.
Cheers to the team who took Technovanza to the Limca Book of World Records! Kudos!
